Arrival

The moment is a bit different for everyone. Perhaps you were just minding your own business somewhere, others may have been in more... dire circumstances. Regardless, you were approached by a figure you can't quite picture, and they offered you an accord; in exchange for aiding them in the healing of a world lost to chaos, you would be granted something almost unheard of. Godhood.

And each of you said yes, more or less.

A blurry hand, shifting and rippling, reaches out to you. You feel a glow of warmth, unlike anything you've known before. As soon as you think you can describe it, you wake up.

The room you're in is plainly furnished, but it's about the size of a small flat. Plenty of room to stretch your legs. Don't get too comfortable, however. On the bedside table each room has is a letter; handwritten, it's wrapped around a bronze key. The lettering could only be described as the platonic ideal of 'neat and precise'.

If you are reading this, than our deal has been made. You've awoken in a place that will surely feel strange, so I want you to take some time to acclimate. Meet with the others. Breathe. I shall be along shortly.

Whatever that means becomes more apparent as you step out of your housing and behold the world around you. The building you were in, and every piece of architecture you happen across, is blatantly pre-modern. Yet, something about it is otherworldly. Stone and iron and glass as far as the eye can see.

But above you was where the real questions were. It wouldn't be right to say the sun was shining on you now, nor would it be right to say it's the dead of night. Instead, the sky is a hazy mixture of both, wrapped in suffocating storm clouds that are threatening rain. Everywhere you look, into the horizon, it's the same.

Welcome home. Take your time and explore. Nobody ever said godhood was easy.

Heck if I know.

[The teen's eyes wander, perusing the various other plaques before he meets his own. Snow will see him visibly make a face and his shoulders sag, clearly not a happy camper wait no this isn't camp half-blood too.]

Lucky us. [Voice oozing with sarcasm.] Everybody else gets super cool fun facts like escaping death. While ours delves into our love lives.

[Life is so unfair...]

I've mostly been resigned to my own, but... at least it seems like you're proactive about it?

[Under his breath:]

Proactive isn't my first choice of word...

[But he digresses]

Chin up, I'm sure you'll find a prince someday, maybe.

[try not to sound too backhanded ranma...]

It's all right, I've moved on from the idea of finding love. Which apparently somehow qualified me for this position.
catsgothistongue: (Thinking out loud)

Maybe they figured having a 'goddess of love' who can't find a guy would be the best example of what not to do? [In a twisted, demeaning way. But also wow ranma] I'unno, I'm still wrappin' my head 'round being a god now. This is... a bit much, even for my standards.

[Again, he has zero clues what the mindset of these titles are. His sorta makes sense? going with the flow of battle and life is something he excels with flying colors.]

Where I come from, we very provably don't have gods in this sense. I'm with you there.
catsgothistongue: (Guess we're doin' this?)

Closest I've had to dealin' with gods was this brat tryin' to become a overgrown power plant for his nest.

[no he isn't providing context to wtf that means.

... oh, yeah, he should probably]


Ranma, by the way.

[ a nod. weird shit sure does happen in fairy tales, that feels like something that would happen. ]
